I have enjoyed being in Room 15 with you all so much! I have loved getting to know each of you, and I found it very very hard to leave today. I feel like I belong in your class! I will definitely be back for a visit in term 4! I cant wait to come back!!
I have put a few photos which show just a few of my memories and favourite moments below,
Thank you so very much for the letters and pictures that you gave me- I will treasure it always!
'Never be the Same' book
I had the privilege of sharing with the children a book called 'Never be the Same'. It is a special book which I helped to write, a book abo
ut losing a brother or sister.
My brother, Anthony, passed away when I was 14. He was one of the 6 students and a teacher from Elim Christian College that drowned in the Mangatepopo Stream in 2008.
A little bit about my brother, his name is Anthony Mulder. He was tall, 6 foot 4! He had to duck to get under most doors, and at 16 was still growing! He played basketball, the drums and loved to be around children, he used to spend his whole holiday with children at holiday programs.
Anthony and myself, Feb 2008
I miss him lots and lots, and I still think about him a lot. So learning from what I have been through, if I could give you one piece of advice, it’s to treasure the moments you have with your brothers, sisters and families. Make the most of it! Try not to fight with them and love them- let them know that.
Below is a link connected to the website I made, I hope it helps to give you some insight into what happened and more about the book. http://nbts.elim.school.nz/
This picture is of the authors, it was taken for the newspapers. From left: Olivia and Ben Bray (siblings of Natasha Bray), Jacob McPhail (brother of Portia McPhail), myself (sister of Anthony Mulder), and Hannah McClean (sister of Tony McClean-the teacher).
